Adding a new release architecture (partial or not) requires convincing 
the ftp team and the release team.

It would also require many software changes.

How would for example the dependencies of wine:amd64 be fulfilled?

Just supporting that package dependencies might only be fulfilled by 
also using packages from a different architecture would require changes 
in many places, like for example the testing migration scripts that 
ensure installability after migration.

If this partial arch (and Wine) should be part of Debian releases,
then testing migrations would have to be tied to it in any case.

The first obstacle is that if you want to be the first who does cross 
building packages on the buildds, there is likely a lot of work and 
bugfixing ahead for you for getting that working.
